Thank you, thank you. I read every word that you said and I appreciate your willingness to unveil yourself. I also appreciate the fact that you said it publicly. As I read your post I remembered all the jobs I was passed over for and the promotion’s I didn’t get although everybody kept telling me I was doing a great job even telling me thank you for saving their butt. Being called the n-word as you pass by and things purposely done to you that you didn’t want to say anything to cause any trouble been through all of the things that you mentioned and even more than you can imagine which is why I cried as I read someone of another race understanding someone and I just want to say thank you.

Good poem. It speaks from the heart. We need more people like that. I write a lot of poetry – and piano music. It’s my way of communicating. Many people don’t have a way to express themselves and their frustration comes out as anger. My anger comes because of those who refuse to see that the way they think might be wrong and have no problem hurting people. But then, something happens to them and they cry victim.

Thank my Almighty Creator for blessing me with parents who are color blind. We were always taught to treat people the same, no matter what color! I took that advice, and I worked for many years with people from all races and creeds. Last Nov. we took in my sons friend because he fell on hard times, and uses all the small amount of money with a part time job. My son got him a job where he works, and now they are both working 2 jobs just to get by. Yes he is a young black man, and we never thought twice about letting him stay with us. He’s very respectable, very helpful since both my husband and I are disabled! You never judge a book by its cover until you read the pages. I understand their plight, and understand why there is so much tension between races. Our best friends across the street are Arabian ( Muslim) and I wouldnt change that for nothing! To be honest, I get most flack for being drawn to people of color, That’s why I have a problem with white racists! Their all around me, and my next door neighbor has nothing to do with me because of MY choice of friends! Friends like that, I don’t need enemies. We all are the same! We all bleed red! I will continue to make people happy as I am a good listener, and people are drawn to me wherever I go! They tell me their life stories, and I try to plant as many seeds of love. We all need to LOVE one another, be treated equally and their wouldn’t be problems! The mega rich white folk are what ruined this country. It’s all about money, money, money! I am thankful for what I have….no more, no less! Thanks for reading my rant😊
